UAE condemns Sudan attack targeting Ambassador's home

The UAE’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has strongly condemned an attack that targeted the residence of the UAE Head of Mission, in Khartoum, by a Sudanese army aircraft.

In a statement, the Ministry said that it will submit a letter to the League of Arab States, the African Union and the United Nations against the attack by the Sudanese Armed Forces, as it represents a flagrant violation of the fundamental principle of the inviolability of diplomatic premises.

The Ministry stressed the importance of protecting diplomatic buildings and embassy staff residences, in accordance with the treaties and customs that regulate diplomatic relations and said it rejects all forms of violence and terrorism.
